UN officials paid tribute to Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and other members of the UN Board of Design, which created the iconic United Nations Headquarters complex in New York, in a special ceremony held at the General Assembly Hall. The youngest and last surviving member of the Board, Niemeyer died in December 2012 at the age of 104.

Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information, moderates the event.
